Chapter 2048 Get Ready for Company

Author: Night Eleven
The man had wrapped himself so thoroughly that only his eyes showed. An SUV pulled up beside him; he stepped in and the vehicle left Draycott Auctions.

Aria rose from her chair, ready to give chase, but Landon stopped her.

"We can't go after him," he said. "We don't have a car. Remember, we came in Wynric's."

"We blew it at the worst possible time. If I'd known this would happen, I'd have arranged a new car." Flat out of options, Aria sank back down.

Aria added, "I don't think that was Fernanski. I memorised some of his features."

"From where I sat, I got a good look at the license plate. It was 178." Landon stirred his coffee. "Get someone to dig into it."

Aria jotted the number and sent it to Madden. The reply came quickly.

"This license plate belongs to the Atharan embassy's vehicles."

Aria frowned. "Atharan embassy…" she muttered. "So the man might work for them."

Landon looked up. "If the Atharan embassy is sending people here, this is messier than we thought. We suspecte

    Soon, more than ten masked armed men approached the villa where Aria and the others were. The man leading them was the same one who had snuck in earlier. "How did you know we were coming?"Confusion spread among the men. It was as if their mission had been leaked. At the same time, they grew tense—what if this was a setup?"You followed me all the way here," Aria said coldly, fiddling with a switchblade. "Of course I know where you are and what you're doing. Why isn't Fernanski with you? I suppose that figures. He's heartless enough to send you straight to your deaths.""What do you mean?" The leader frowned, scanning his surroundings warily, half-expecting an ambush. Nothing happened, so he turned back. "We don't want trouble. Hand over the bronze cauldron, and we'll let you live."Aria studied him. "It's you. I think I recognize you. Sure, you've got a mask on, but I remember. You're the security guard from the auction house, aren't you?"The man—Manuel Jennings—stiffened, his

    When the auction guests heard the auctioneer, they returned to their seats. It was the first time a surprise item had been revealed after the finale.Two staff members carefully carried a tray draped with white silk onto the stage. On it sat an item encased in glass, its form hidden beneath a cloth.The auctioneer raised his microphone, his tone deliberately theatrical."Ladies and gentlemen, the upcoming surprise item is an ancient bronze relic from a distant corner of the world. After expert appraisal, we've determined it to be over 2,000 years old. Its craftsmanship is exquisite, and its collectible value is beyond measure!"As he finished, the staff removed the cloth, revealing the bronze relic.It was a bronze cauldron, a little over a foot tall, adorned with intricate motifs of clouds and beasts. Strange symbols, resembling script, wound across its surface. Two symmetrical beast heads jutted from its sides, heavy with history. This piece was unlike anything auctioned before.

    Aria raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested. "What letter?"Brooklyn handed Aria the letter as she said, "If anything, it read more like an instruction."Aria skimmed through it. As Brooklyn had said, the letter listed the tasks Wesson had ordered Braddell to carry out.Brooklyn sighed. "Actually, I've started suspecting him too. Still, we're husband and wife. Without proof, I chose to believe in him. Not long ago, however, I found this letter under the bed.""Maybe he's keeping a backup plan for himself." Aria's mind went still. The letter wasn't particularly useful. Braddell had likely kept it in case Wesson abandoned him in the future."You've read my thoughts." Brooklyn calmed herself before continuing, "Alright, enough of that. Braddell has paid for what he did. I shouldn't have brought him up again. Today is about treating you all to a meal."All of a sudden, Brooklyn turned to Wynric. "Wynric, I heard some commotion outside the restaurant earlier. What was that about?"

    Standing beside Wynric, Aria studied Faye. The latter pretended to sob; not a single real tear fell. Her clenched fist looked more like showy indignation than the anguish of someone truly violated.Those at her side acted like supporters, but their eyes kept flicking to her wrist, as if waiting for a signal."You're also a woman," Faye accused. "Would you really use your reputation to accuse someone falsely?"Aria met her stare. "Most decent women wouldn't, but there are always exceptions."Faye's sobs grew louder. "What do you mean? You're defending him because you're friends. But everyone can tell right from wrong."Aria smiled. "Let's just handle this by the book. If he really did film you, I'll make sure he pays the price. However, if he didn't…"Her gaze slid over Faye and her crew. "Neither you nor your helpers will walk away from this."Faye hadn't expected resistance. Every previous time her setup had worked. The victims caved and paid to avoid a scandal. She hadn't anti

    Aria arched an eyebrow and marched over to Petrin. "They aren't dead. If nothing went wrong, the scam operation site would have already been taken down. And besides, your identity has been exposed."Petrin's gaze darkened. "Impossible. The chief would have notified me if the police were making a move."Aria smiled. "What if the federal police were involved this time? Would you still have been informed?"Petrin's voice grew cold. "The federal police? How could that be? How could you possibly involve them?"Aria lifted her gaze. "You're way too narrow-minded. The embassy has that authority. The chief you mentioned should be here soon."Petrin's eyes sharpened. "So you were stalling for time, keeping me from tipping off the site. I see…"Aria smiled. "You're not entirely stupid. At least you figured it out. You built the scam operation site here in Mecira. Without your support, how would they have evaded capture so many times?"She glanced down at Rosko's lifeless body. "He was jus
